African Innovation Mentors
Fortunately for Africa, there is no shortage of innovation talent. This awakening Giant will see earth shaking changes through the solutions which will be brought to bear on Africa’s problems. For example, read “Nurturing wealth of innovations among the youth“. Because of my past professional experiences in education as well as careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) I’m now in the best position to serve as a mentor to my Invention School apprentices. Without a doubt, mentorship is important in a student’s life, and those who have access to them throughout their studies often end up with an advantage over those who do not. Mentors not only provide support, encouragement, wisdom, and instruction, but they also provide knowledge from their experience that students can learn from and apply in their studies and professional lives. A mentor can recognise their mentee’s strengths and weaknesses over time, assisting them in becoming a better version of themselves. Mentors form one of our biggest network of advocates for technology, and building a successful career in technology. Mentors also provide important professional networks that students always find useful after they complete their studies.
